#CMGRHangout presents: Tools of the Trade (Preview)

We get many, many requests to talk tools, but we realized it’s been quite a long time since we had a discussion centered around just that. So now’s your chance! Let us know if you want to join us on air, otherwise we’ll see you on Twitter!

Join us for this week’s #CMGRHangout panel on Friday, September 11th at 2pm EDT/11am PDT to talk tools of the trade for community builders.
